Each semester, students adventure into Maine’s woods and waters for 5-day backcountry expeditions with their classmates and teachers.

In the fall, these trips might include backpacking in the Bigelows or canoeing along the Allagash River. And for the spring semester, trips might include snowshoeing or cross-country skiing while enjoying cozy accommodations in remote cabins.

Through these backcountry trips, students challenge themselves, learn new skills, and forge lasting friendships, all while enjoying Maine’s breathtaking beauty.
